2. Make sure you have everything you need for the tournament including all the supplies and prizes. Making a last-minute run to the store is better done sooner than later.
3. Greet guests and show them to their table. This can be done randomly or in cases where you know who is attending, a seating chart can be made. Be sure to collect donations from each guest.

How to Play Seven Card Stud Poker

Once you know how to play, it's time to gather your players and shuffle up and deal!

1. Cards are shuffled and each player submits an ante.
2. The dealer gives each player three cards, one at a time, going in a clockwise direction. The first two cards are dealt face down with the third being dealt face up.
3. The player with the lowest face up card starts and is required to bet the "bring-in." Betting continues in a clockwise manner with each player calling the bet, raising or folding.
4. Each player remaining in the hand receives another card, face up, known as "fourth street."
5. A second round of betting follows, with the player with the highest visible card starting the betting. Each player can check, call, raise or fold.
6. The fifth card, "fifth street," is dealt to each player, face up as well. Betting continues, starting with the person with the highest visible card(s).
7. The sixth card, "sixth street," is dealt to each remaining player, also face up. Betting continues, again starting with the person with the highest face-up card(s).
8. A seventh and final card is dealt to each player, this time face down. A final round of betting occurs.
9. Players remaining in the hand flip their cards over, showing their hand. The player with the highest hand wins the pot.http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/games/stud/

How to Play Five Card Stud

After everyone knows the rules and hand rankings, agrees on the limits, stakes and variations, if desired, it's time to get playing!

1. Each player offers up an ante to join the hand. This is a small amount, much less than the minimum bid. For a $2/$4 game, the ante could be 25 or 50 cents.
2. Starting with the first player to the left of the dealer or dealer button, each player is dealt one face-down card, followed by one face-up card.
3. The player with the lowest face-up card is forced to open the bid, in a process known as the bring-in. Each additional player, moving clockwise, can call the bet, raise or fold.
4. Players receive another face-up card, known as third street. Betting follows again, with the option to bet, check, call, raise or fold.
5. Fourth street follows with each player receiving another face-up card. Again players can bet, check, raise, call or fold.
6. A fifth and final card, fifth street, is dealt, also face up. Players are allowed to bet one final time, again with the option to check, bet, raise, call and fold.
7. The players remaining in the hand flip their down card up. The dealer examines the hands, awarding the pot to the highest-ranking hand.
8. Cards are shuffled and the process is repeated again.http://www.pokersyte.com/five_card_stud.htm
